Who hasn’t been spending more time in their garden? Whether it’s for a socially distant get together or to flex those green fingers. Even if the Covid-19 pandemic had never come on the scene, our gardens were already transforming into something more like an extension to the home with areas for dining, entertaining and cooking. With this multifunctionality comes the need to divide the garden into ‘areas’ hence the importance of paving. Of course if money is no object you can pave your garden with the most beautiful, durable natural stone on the market but many of us have to stick to a budget and if that’s a bit on the small side then how can you 'n wonderlike voorkoms te bereik sonder om die bank te breek?
Watter opsies van plaveisel is daar?
Beton is the go-to for cheaper end paving as you can choose from a variety of different colours, styles, textures, and even sizes of concrete slabs. Concrete is the perfect material if you want to ‘get the look’ for example, it can be made to look like brick on a driveway or you can use larger slabs for a clean, contemporary look. But don’t think that natural stone is out of your reach if you are working to a budget. Despite the fact that it is a fantastic quality, sandsteen plaveisel pryse is verbasend laag, wat beteken dat jy jou droomtuin kan skep vir 'n fraksie van die koste van ander tipes natuurlike klip plaveisel.

Wat is die alternatiewe vir plaveisel?
’n Goedkoop alternatief vir plaveisel is asfalt. Dit is meer bestand teen koue weer en is goedkoper om te herstel, maar beton dra baie meer swaar.
For driveways you can use gravel which is also a good alternative if you have problems with drainage. You could keep costs down by using pavers to edge the drive or pathway, And for a more stable path choose sharp-edged gravel that is labelled 1/4-inch minus. Pieces of that gravel type fit snugly together as they won’t move about so much.
Another cost-conscious alternative is poured concrete, although if you suddenly have more money to spend and want to invest in stone pavers instead it’s quite difficult to remove.
Vir patio's is die gewilde alternatief dekke, maar dit kan duurder wees as byvoorbeeld sandsteen en nie so maklik om te onderhou nie.
Hoekom moet jy plaveisel vir jou buitelugruimte kies?
Selfs al is plaveisel 'n bietjie duurder as sommige alternatiewe, is dit oor die algemeen meer gehard, lyk beter en sal langer lewe. Sandsteen lyk beter soos dit verouder en die meeste natuurlike klip plaveisels is maklik om mee te werk.
Hoe om die regte plaveisel te kies
Budget is important, especially if you have a huge project that is going to be used a lot. In that case it’s perhaps prudent to consider how much it will cost in the long term. Sometimes spending more at the outset will save you money over time.
Wanneer jy jou plaveisel kies, moet jy jouself afvra wat die hoofdoel daarvan sal wees. Is dit vir oprit, patio, a garden path, or a poolscape? The type of paving you choose will also depend upon where it’s going to sit within your garden. Will it get a hammering from the elements? Or be at risk of oil drips from motor vehicles?
Ten slotte kan die styl van jou huis jou keuse dikteer. Die tipe plaveisel wat jy kies vir 'n moderne gebou sal beslis verskil van 'n landelike eiendom, hoewel daar geen reëls is nie. 'n Sjiek kontemporêre patio kan goed lyk naas 'n ouer eiendom.
